Thank you @Michael_Code for not letting this tool on a “limbo”, really appreciate your effort and contact with SoniX regarding further development.

Is the project open source? If so, where is the code available?
This project lists some alternatives that I’d love to hear opinions from our specialists. I’m still learning all this stuff, and I currently have no machine that I can play with. I like it is cross-platform, and it runs on Linux.
@MeatWar, structure MCE changed, any changed in UBU dont help us. Only old MCE
For @Pluto, return to old structure? Why,@Plutomaniac
@Plutomaniac, oldest version working,UBU_1_79_17
Return MCE!!!
Now I public UBU newest without SoniX

Hi,
I found the problem why the UBU tool doesn’t update the RAW GOP VBT in my case. The problem lies in the UBU.bat. First of all, in my bios there are 2 raw sections with the same RAW GOB VBT and that leads to the problem at the same time.
The UBU.bat counts how many GUIDs from GOP VBT there are, since in my case there are 2, the script is aborted. Here is the code from UBU.bat
If %vbt_count% is 2 in my case, the update is aborted with && goto end_video
If i remove && goto end_video one GUID of the both is updated.
Who can help my with this to Update the UBU.bat to get both GUID from Bios Updated ?
Look into the script parts for NIC firmware, maybe possible to ‘steal’ something there: Later versions of UBU were able to update two OROMS. But those were two identical OROMS in one guid.

Or use MMTool or UEFITool 0.25/0.28 or do it manually (HxD)?
I have found a better easyer Way.
I Updated it with UEFITool manually
Extracted the single Body of each to a .bin File, used BMP with BSF File from this Version to save all Settings in a transfer.ssf
Applied the transfer.ssf to the SKL 221 vbt.bin
And then you can Replace this Body with Uefitool
Same step 2 times for both bodies and perfect results
Can anyone confirm this tool works with asus x299 bios?
If not could some point me in the right direction to update modules and roms etc?
Since the Intel X299 chipset has been released already in 2017, the UBU tool will work with the related mainboard BIOS. Nevertheless I recommend to replace within the root of the UBU package the files named drvver.exe, MCE.py and MCE.db by newer versions. You will find them by doing a “Google Search”.
Depending on your specific hardware configuration it may be useful as well to update some BIOS modules, which are located within the UBU\Files folder.

@Fernando, YESS, my dear friend Dieter! I’ll post the link in a couple of hours. Indicate in what topic. SoniX doesn’t mind. I should note that MCExtractor remains the old version for compatibility. I am updating MCE.DB.
Ok thanks.

Sorry where do I find updated modules and stuff, sorry I’am new to this?
If there are any lol?
@Michael_Code
Dear Michael, thank you very much for your efforts to keep this beautiful tool available and up-to-date for the next years with the current and the upcoming chipset generations.
As soon as I have the required time, I will test your linked updated UBU package.
Happy birthday 
- the next 20 years will pass much quicker than the past ones (according to my own experience). Enjoy them nonetheless!
@Dudette
You have to search for the needed and matching BIOS modules yourself - the latest are not automaticly the best, especially not for old mainboards! You can find many new BIOS modules within >this< Forum Category.
Good luck!
